1973 BMW E9 Coupe

This 1973 BMW 3.0CSi is a European-market example that is said to have been originally sold in France before it was acquired by the current owner in 2011 and relocated to Germany. The car is powered by a fuel-injected 3.0L inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and it is finished in blue over contrasting blue leather. Equipment includes 16″ Alpina-style wheels, Bilstein shocks, a stainless-steel exhaust system, an Iso Delta steering wheel, air conditioning, power windows, wood trim, and a push-button radio. This 3.0CSi is now offered at no reserve in Leipzig, Germany by the seller on behalf of the current owner with a tool kit, partial service records, and German registration. The car left the factory finished in Fjord and was refinished in 2012 by Bugatti Dusseldorf in Germany, according to the seller. The car is equipped with a left-side mirror as well as bright trim and bumpers. Noted flaws include a dent in the rear bumper and scratches on two pieces of trim. Alpina-style 16″ wheels are equipped in addition to Bilstein shocks and four-wheel disc brakes. The cabin houses front bucket seats and a rear bench reupholstered in blue leather, and wood trim accents the dashboard and doors. Amenities include air conditioning, power windows, a wooden shift knob, and a push-button radio. The Iso Delta steering wheel is wrapped in black leather. Instrumentation includes a 240-km/h speedometer, a tachometer, a clock, and auxiliary gauges. The odometer shows 54k kilometers (~34k miles), approximately 8k of which have been added under current ownership. The 3.0-liter inline-six features Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection and was factory rated at 200 horsepower. The cylinders were removed and rebuilt and gaskets were replaced in 2013. Service in preparation for the sale included changing fluids and adjusting valve clearance, per the seller. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The clutch cylinder was replaced in 2017, and an aftermarket stainless-steel exhaust system has been added. Partial German-language service records will accompany the car. The seller states that shipping to the ports of Miami, New York, and Los Angeles is included in the sale. Filed under: e9
